"Is there a price to pay for the gifts of the Holy Spirit? If there is,
they would not be gifts, but purchases.
Nevertheless, there well may be a
price to pay in their use. Those not prepared to risk their leisure,
their comfort, their reputation, and perhaps much more, may be little
used by God – even if He does bestow His power‑gifts upon them.
A
complete tool kit may be a marvelous gift for a carpenter, but it would
be useless without the sweat of his brow.
Gifts call for commitment; as
Romans 12:7 puts it, ‘Let us use it in our ministering.’ His life is
poured out with ours. Gifts are for givers. To get, give!
God bless you."
